During the warm summer and fall months the fowls should be pro- 

 vided with water in transit. This is done by fastening a tin can to the 

 inside of the box. In the cooler days of the fall and winter the water 

 will not be necessary if the birds will be delivered within two or three 

 days. A good substitute for water is to place a few apples in the box 

 with them and thus eliminate the danger of birds having wet straw in their 

 box by the water splashing from their drinkirtg can. Where the birds 

 are on the way for over the third day, they should be provided with 

 water. In the fall of the year, as the weather becomes colder, it is a 

 good plan to tack muslin on the top of the box to prevent them from 

 getting their combs frosted or getting in a draft at some transfer point. 

 A space about two inches wide should be left for the express company 

 to water them.
